    From the highway code:
    Junctions controlled by traffic lights

    175

    You MUST stop behind the white ‘Stop’ line across your side of the road unless the light is green. If the amber light appears you may go on only if you have already crossed the stop line or are so close to it that to stop might cause a collision.

    [Laws RTA 1988 sect 36 & TSRGD regs 10 & 36]

  • Perhaps Derek can post some legislation to back it up?

    In any country, in any language, a red light should be interpreted as 'you must stop' .

    If you were in Amsterdam i red light may mean you should Go for it.
    Liverpool is one of the wonders of Britain,
    What it may grow to in time, I know not what.

    Are you driving around recording everything and then reporting to the police??
    Somebody needs to; people like the red light jumpers need a short sharp shock to help them see the error of their ways before they kill somebody.

    Too many bad drivers get away with it because there's never a policeman around when you want one.
  • i dont think it is for you to police the roads with your dash cam, keep it there for times in need but not to police the roads.

    there was no need to sound your horn in frustation i see this everyday i shake my head have a giggle at their poor perceptive skills and just wish i am not the one crissing the junction when these people decide to fly through them.

    if you upload them to youtube then so beit i like to watch these video's somtime's of poor driving, it keeps me on the look and not take my warm cell called a car for granted on the roads and keeps me aware.

    Short sharp shock.

    The fact that you sounded your horn to show your displeasure tells me everything I need to know about you as a driver. Did you have a caravan on the back of your car?

    By the way, it's lose, not loose. Shall I report you to the mod team?

    Was that the driving over hatchings in the first clip or the use of horn other than as a warning of his presence in the second? ;)

    Shocking driving from the OP, I hope someone was following him with a dashcam and reporting him
  • Have you seen the Audi one?

    The Audi changes lane as he does, Derek is straight on the horn and u'd edits the clip as he does him up the near side.
